Tony and Chris got the videos out at the same time. Great show.
Dave, it was a fluke, normally Chris is typically 2 weeks out on his videos.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
That winch has countless things it can be used for which makes it beyond handy. It's small enough to carry anywhere if needed. Stay safe my friend
Tim it truly is a remarkable piece of equipment able to multi task on many projects.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
@@everettthompson8301 Its soooo easy!👍TCT
I'm thinkin' it would be a monster helper when I go fishin'. Lots of times, the fish are just to big to handle by myself, so have to let them go. Then when I tell my buddies about the fishes I caught, nobody believes me! What a bummer!! This winch could change the whole world for fishermens!!! A better world of Truth and Honesty!!!! Might even get some of these honest fishermen to run for political office. Now THAT would change the world!!!!! Everybody knows fishermens are a LOT more honest than golfers!! Tony, as always, you da' man!

Hi Tony! Beats the snot out of cutting it in the woods and dragging every round out one at a time! Nice work fellas!
Mike the Portable Winch has given me back a few years to my life span. Having to manually haul out the bucked logs is a real killer not to mention the back stress.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
What a handy tool to have! That cone is a must have amazing how it prevents hangups!! Nice to see your old best friend. Thanks for sharing Tony👍👍
Jeremiah without a doubt the cone is a lifesaver, it easily helps the log from digging in.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Thanks Tony. Nice video. Thing about it is you're not going to be able to match Chris without a few cats. LOL
You’re right, every time I go to Chris’s Woodyard I have to make sure none of the cats have jumped into the cab of my truck when I’m leaving.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
I hope you're getting a kickback on sales spurred by this video, cause that thing is definitely Tony's Cool Tools, cool.
Kevin great to hear from you. Glad you liked the video.

Great product, I had a 12 volt model back in the 70’s on the hitch of my F-150🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
The 12v winch works good but you have to stop often so you don’t drain the battery as well as being limited to the length of the breaded cable.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
@@TonysCoolTools Tony I had a dual bank cat battery and the winch had 300’ of marine rope, Capstan marine surplus
@@outdoorswithlarryrobin Now that’s one powerful system and if you can’t finish the job with 300’ of rope you better go home! 😂TCT
Nice portable winch!! This will save lots of labor for gathering wood or animals. Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
David the Portable winch is truly a time and back-saving tool for sure.

Tony you put out 100% on your review on tools . Great little tool for bring your deer or moose up out a hole . Tony watch Chris falling timber lol . To bad your work Sunday and Memorial Day wk- end Tony. 😊 great video my friend .
Leonard, thanks for your kind words. Chris and I always have fun working together.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
That PCW4000A is a powerful little portable winch. You did an excellent job of explaining all the different accessories and ways to use the wrench. The cone makes skidding around stumps and trees easy. In my opinion, there is no one better than you, Tony, at making very thorough review videos. And it was really cool to see your celebrity guest and you back together again. :) Take care and have a great weekend!
Steve thanks for your kind words, you're right both the PCW4000 & 5000 are great winches. Really are a back saver.
Appreciate you watching and commenting.👍TCT
Great video of an indispensable tool. Liked it so much that I purchased one for my business. I've used mine a few times already and loved it. Thanks for the review. Rob...
Robert it really is an awesome piece of equipment. Ironically I just used mine last evening to drag up a large deer from a steep ravine. It’s was a breeze to bring the deer up and no one had a heart attack!

Hi Tony I just subscribed to you from this channel as this is the one I use most of the time to watch videos of the channels that I subscribe to.
My brother either bought or rented a portable winch that he used on a tree removal job, it was very helpful. I just have a come-along that I’ve used maybe a dozen times in the 10 years that I’ve had it.
Joe thanks for subscribing on this channel. for years I too used a standard come along. Later I found the Maasdam Rope puller, same as a come along but uses about 100’ of rope and that was a game changer. The gas powered portable winch just speeds things up a bit.👍TCT
@outside with Scheib could use this with his roadside logging operation.. lol. 😊
Tony, you should make a trip to PA and do a shoot with him.
Stop in Dayton on the way, sit by my fire pit at Old Dayton Pizza, it’s the best anywhere.
You and Chris will laugh at my modest wood yard.
Only 10 minutes south of I 70..😎
Steve thanks for the invite. we may need to do that some day.
Appreciate you watching and commenting. 👍TCT
Great demo Tony! Definitely a very cool tool - made in Canada! Cheers!
Thanks GP, and yes another GREAT product made in Canada like the Eastonmade Splitters and N&N trailers.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Great demo and review Tony. I’d love to have one, but I probably wouldn’t use it enough to justify the cost. It’s definitely a great tool for many uses.
@@oldguyfirewood Dick I agree it’s not a tool for every Woodyard or pocketbook.
My son-in-law and I had multiple uses both hunting, rescue and Woodyard.

Hello Tony our bear club bought one a couple years ago to winch the bear up the rock slides it works amazing. Thanks 👍👍🇺🇸
Glenn, I definitely could see the benefit of using that to get the bear up a hill or steep ravine.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
We were hunting logging roads one time for deer in the middle of nowhere. Some douche cut a good sized tree down and blocked the road. Had to drive backwards about a half mile to where I could turn around properly. Definitely could have used this Honda tool at that time. Have a good weekend
Oh yeah, the Portable Winch would definitely save the day pulling an obstruction out of the way.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Another great video. 👏👏
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
That winch is pretty neat. Perfect for that remote job you and Chris did. (now that I watched the vid from your other best friend) At $2k, a bit pricey for me to justify buying one though.
Yes it is a bit pricey for the average person.
But, for a one person operation it would definitely make you more efficient and save your back.
Appreciate you watching and commenting👍.TCT
@@TonysCoolTools Agree!
A very handy tool for a small operation. I need to add it to my Amazon wish list. Enjoy the journey - cheers

Looks like a great tool. I like the cone works great. As a electrician I am no stranger to this style of wench. 2 nice loads wood. Good to see you guys working together. Keep up the good work.
Dan the electrical industry/lineman use the industrial type portable winch for running large sections of wire . The contractor or logger version I’m using is truly an awesome tool.

We definitely have fun working together.

Great review Tony!! I almost purchased one of these a couple of years ago but decided the tractor did a good enough job with snatchblocks and cable. I shoukd invest in one of those yellow nose cones because the logs never want to go where you direct them to and dig in all the time. Thanks for the review and great demonstrations.
Frances, you’re right a tractor and a snatch block will work most of the time. Definitely the nose cone is a must for pulling logs out easier. With that being said since we’re both in the Driftless region of WI the Portable Winch is invaluable with all the hills and ravines and getting timber out. Maybe we’ll have to get together one of these days when I’m in your area so I show you the PCW4000.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
@Tonys Cool Tools That would be great. I would really like to see one in action. There are some times I need 2 snatchblocks to redirect and its time consuming. Plus it's not easy putting a tension on a tree with the tractor while trying to fell it in the woods. I imagine it would be great for redirecting trees to fall where you want them to.
@@bfoutdooradventures Yup, easier and definitely more control. 👍TCT
Power House Lawn & Leisure in Merrill just 6 miles North of Me sells that Equipment.
Nice !
I have seen a old wheelbarrow tub modified to skid logs , that's the key to guide and keep them from digging in .
Great review on a amazing tool , 👍
Bruce I saw the modified wheelbarrow before as well. I’ve also seen plastic 55 gal barrels modified as well.
Anything that keeps the log from digging into the ground works .
Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍TCT
Yes, I may not be able to justify buying the 2-thousand-dollar Wench, but I could the yellow cap. very impressive.
Great stuff Tony 👏 Thanks for sharing 👍
You bet Frank, glad you liked the video.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Another great review. I have been watching a guy in Australia (the rural Project) use one and he pulls logs up and over tall hills..
Daniel it does a great job winching up or down the hills or ravines.
Definitely one of my best back saving devices.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Great tool and great review Tony! I of coarse watched Chris’s video and seen that little beast in action. I can see using that winch attached to the D-rings inside my dump trailer to pull logs in for loading. Great vid👍🏻👍🏻
Todd , I’ve used the winch before on both my dump and car hauler to load logs with a special ramp. It works great if you have some sawlogs you’re looking to transport.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
just saw you using this with Chris. that little winch is a beast. its not fast but has a lot of torque. the cone is the ticket and makes pulling much easier. i guess the tension you put on the back rope controls the throttle? True to the channel, its a "cool tool".
The Portable Winch is not the fastest but it definitely gets the job done easily and without a lot of physical power.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Awesome review Tony. That thing would be handy to have around! Take care! 👍🏻
Rod I’ve used a Portable Winch for about 6 years and it’s got me out of trouble many times.
You’re right it’s handy to have around since I’m a one man operation.
Appreciate you watching and commenting as well as your military serve to keep our freedoms 👍TCT
Very useful review, thank you. I'd love to see a real-world comparison of the gas vs. battery winches.
David that’s a great idea, I’ll check with Portable Winch about doing a review on the PCW3000Li battery unit.
Appreciate you watching and commenting👍TCT
Tone! I’ve been neglecting your channel for warm Wisconsin weather and in that short time your video production has gotten even better! Not a big fan of 10+ minute videos but there’s no way this one could have been shorter with all of the features and the different uses you put it to. Then you throw Chris into the works and Banda-bing out pops two huge trailer loads of ready-sell rounds to split 👍. Big thumbs up from Mad Town. Did you get your gobbler? Reno
Reno, you’re right it’s hard to pack all the benefits of the Portable Winch in a short video.
Glad you enjoyed the video, a lot of work was accomplished in those 12 hrs.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Great Video Tony. I have PWC 5000 and there really good winches. The downside is it’s just slow going and it’s basically a backup for when nothing else will work. When you attach a pulley on winch as you showed on the trailer, it is a change of direction only and there is no mechanical advantage. Nice work on the video.
Richard I don’t know if you are aware but I believe you still can buy an additional capstan for your PCW5000 that will get you to the 44ft per minute. As an FYI by attaching the snatch block to the object I’m pulling I am increasing the power X1. I do have a separate snatch block for changing directions.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
@@TonysCoolTools I apologize- I missed the pulley on the tractor end. 😞 Thanks I didn’t know about the extra capstan.
Thanks for the super clear video. Lots of great info. Thanks!✌️
Ryan glad you enjoyed the video.
If you liked the PCW4000 just wait. I’m reviewing the PCW3000Li. Video will be out in the next week or two.

Hi Tony, great video! We have a Simpson Winch very similar to that. We use it in Alaska at our remote cabin. We haven’t carried lumber, coolers etc. up the steep hill since! Lots of great suggestions in your video!
Peter the Lewis winch was very popular with folks from Alaska.
The downside is you need a power source (chainsaw) and you were limited with the steel braided cable. But it was more powerful at 4000 lb pull.
I really enjoy the Portable Winch because they are so versatile.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
@@TonysCoolTools We've got the Honda engine version, but yours had the advantage of the cams to keep tension where our doesn't . Time to reverse engineer that!
Thanks Tony.
How uncanny that I was watching Chris's Video of him in the Swamp cutting Logs. And wouldn't You Know it. I was thinking to My self that a Capstan Winch, Pulling Cone and lots-O-Rope like 500 to 1'000 Ft would be so nice then this one pops up in the List. AHAHAH
Power House Lawn & Leisure in Merrill just 6 miles North of Me sells that Equipment.

Mike glad you enjoyed the video. The Portable Winch is an extremely useful tool.
Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍TCT
Tony, since you in the winching logs senario look into Lewis winch, its a chainsaw mounted winch with lot of power depending on the size of chainsaw. Have been using the skidding cone for the last 2 year work like a charm no hangup, i use a wire choker true the cone . Good job, have a good day.
Pascal I looked into the Lewis Winch many years ago and it can winch double what the Portable Winch can do in a straight line pull and is slightly faster.
There was a couple reasons I used the Portable winch.
1st l liked the rope better then steel cable. If you don’t have the spool tightened up on the LW you’ll end up with a bad birds nest and possibly need to replace the cable.
2nd you’re limited on cable length to 150’.
3rd reason was weight, the Portable Winch I first started using was the PCW5000 weighing in at 35 lbs while the Lewis Winch body alone was 22lbs when you add the 150’ cable and a 50cc chainsaw engine you are between 42 &50lbs .
With that being said the Lewis winch is a TANK and can pull some serious weight when you add a snatch lock and get multiplied mechanic advantage.
Either unit would be a pleasure to use and make my timber harvesting easier.
Thanks for watching, commenting and sharing your story.👍TCT
hi there nice tool and nice show thanks for showing it , i think Don just got one also , john
John yes Scheib got a Portable Winch as well.
I can’t wait to see how he winches out those big trees he finds.

Tony,Chris will be wanting to borrow your portable winch because I could see it in his eyes 👀 ❤😊🪵👍
Todd he already mistakenly put the Portable Winch in his truck and apologized after I caught him. He said it was an “honest” mistake🤣
Thanks for watching and commenting👍TCT
@@TonysCoolTools haaaa!
The bottom line is price as usual but that would be handy to have around just in case. If you need production you'd have to spend the money and get something bigger and better but this would be nice to have around.
You’re right, everyone has to justify a tool like this just like a tractor or dump trailer.
My goal is just to show options available if you want to help grow your operation especially if you’re working by yourself.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
I got one of the 4000 series.. biggest problem/limitation is not the ability of the motor to keep the capstan drum spinning, in fact I've never been able to stall it out, the limitation is with the ability of the rope to grab the capstan drum and not just have it slip.. Bigger the rope you use, less wraps you can get, and more slippage.. but use too small of a rope and it'll just snap. Using 1/4" dyneema winch line is the best I've found, can get 5 wraps and it's alot harder for it to slip vs 3-4 you can get with 7/16"-3/8" rope
Josh I’m going to have to try the 1/4” Dyneema rope. I’ve not had too much trouble with slippage on either the 4000 or 5000 winches I have. For me I more often stall the engine from pulling to heavy a log.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
It slips because the diameter of the drum is very small. The smaller the diameter of the drum, the smaller the contact area between the rope and the drum, which affects friction/traction. The German company EDER - Maschinenbau GmbH uses much larger drums in its winches.
@@Ntwadumela1 I'd never heard of those winches before now, German make.. doesn't seem nearly as easy to get them in the States as it is the Portable Winch Co ones though. Their power winch 1800kg seems really nice, just a little harder to get price info.. the pcw-4000 model I got I paid $1250 for and it's been working pretty well for my needs but am always looking to upgrade. Thanks for the info
@@Ntwadumela1 Thanks for sharing the information. I looked up EDER and can see their capstan is much larger than the Portable winch company. I wish they had a US distributor. I would love to review one.

Glad you enjoyed the video.

Couple thoughts from the peanut gallery.
A. Ear protection
B. Why not pull the log up into the trailer ? Then dump it and buck it at home at your leisure.
Cuts your 12 hour day by 2 hours easily.
C. standing directly in line of the pull might be considered dangerous when working with a winch.
Maybe that rope will never break, snap or tear apart but. . . .
There is a bunch of kinetic energy in that line it it's going to be released violently should it fail.
Don't get dead
-Chris Carlson
Jean, you could definitely load the logs right into the dump trailer or just get logs to landing and buck right there and leave the mess. Either way works. We were both wearing ear protection. When Chris was filming he had ear plugs and not earmuffs.
I agree definitely don’t stand right behind the winch in case rope breaks.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
@@TonysCoolTools 23:31 Definitely no ear protection. That thing is loud!
Wish I had one of those RopeWizer thingys for my pcw 5000.
I’m surprised they are not offered on Amazon but you can get them directly from Portable Winch for $20. I’m sure you would enjoy using one.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Thanks. I'll check in with PW.
Just what every girl needs.
Yes it is, by using the portable winch it will give you more time to focus on making more videos.
Hope you’ve recuperated from the logging show.
Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍TCT
Wow , nice portable winch😊
You could use it for a few different applications.
Remember that Honda is ceasing selling in USA shortly, but I’m unsure if Canada is affected?
Chris changes best friends like chainsaws Tony😊😊😊
Rick I heard that and not sure how that’s going to affect Canada.
Fortunately Portable Winch offers a 5 year warranty and if you register online you get an extra 1 year on their winches.
Ironically Honda only offers a 3 year warranty.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Ceasing honda lawn mower sales...
@@TonysCoolTools if USA EPA doesn’t deem the Honda Engine within their guidelines as part of the Winch they may not be able to export to USA from Canada, hence you need to buy in Canada.
This is why Honda are getting out of the USA this year, in small engine equipment as too in Generators.
Yes, it’s always good to get extra warranty where possible.😀🇦🇺
@@wittsend1961 all small engines, generators and lawn mowers in 2023, due to EPA, blame California.
Great presentation and demonstration of the portable winch. I'd be concerned with getting a major knotted tangled pile of spaghetti with a rope that long that is thrown into a bucket. How does it keep from tangling up?
I’ve not had any issues with the rope getting tangled up.
I just spool the rope in after winching a log or tree and wind it into the rope bag for the next deployment.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Cool tool. The Binford 6100 version would be V8 powered with a 4 speed transmission ;)
Out of curiosity does Portable Winch offer different sizes in the capstans? I've seen capstan winches before that have high power/low speed and high speed/low power so that you can take advantage of not having the full pulling capacity needed.
Hi Alan, great to hear from you. Ha ha you’re right the Binford version would be nitrous fueled and remote controlled 😂
To my knowledge the 46MM is the only capstan available.
On the PCW5000 there was an option for a slightly larger capstan but by going larger you sacrificed pulling power.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Cool video. Used a similar product on Sesrch&Rescue over-the-bank work 30 years ago. I'm not sure if this is the same brand we used. Maybe it was.
Any idea what the stretch factor is on that rope? And how a stretchy rope (i.e., climbing rope is typically around 20 % stretch) would affect the winch use? We used 9mm x 60 meter (200 ft) climbing rope.
Jim I know that the double braid polyester rope is a static rope with minimal stretch unlike a climbing rope that has a stretch built in for shock absorption.
I’m sure Portable Winch would have all the specs on the percentage of stretch on their 10mm rope.👍TCT
Now that you have used both the pcw5000 and pcw4000, which do you prefer?
Pcw4000: Is that plastic ARM device going to hold up long term? Do you really notice the lighter weight compared to the pcw5000?
Pcw5000: Does the motor stall often if not completely level? How big of a problem is that?
Thanks
Miguel though all three units(5000, 4000, 3000Li battery) I’ve tested can do a straight line pull of 2200lbs I find I like the 4000 the best for a couple reasons.
Almost 10 lbs difference between the 5000 and 4000, and yes you can tell the difference when working all day. The rope capture is not plastic but painted metal of some kind and definitely looks like the fingers that hold the rope will last a long time. I also like the fact I don’t have to worry about tipping motor and engine killing on the 4000 like the 500O. It’s not a big issue but when you’re working a the side of a hill it gets annoying having to keep engine level.
With all that said my money is on the 4000 if I had to pick one.
Hope this helps, let me know if you have any more questions.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Tony, thank you for your thorough reply. First hand knowledge is indispensable and I appreciate you sharing yours. It gives me much better insight compared to what I could find online from the manufacturer.
I see a head to head to head comparison video in your future…..
@TonysCoolTools in another video you mention you've had the PCW5000 for years. Any thoughts on one versus the other? Comparison video? Thanks
Though I have all three PCW5000, 4000 & 3000Li my favorite is the PCW4000.
All three have a capacity of 2200 lbs straight line pull.
What I like about the 4000 is it’s about 10 lbs light than the 5000, has the progress capture mechanism to hold tension on your line after engine is shut off. And lastly the winch won’t kill if it’s tipped sideways.
The PCW4000 is similar to a chainsaw and works in any position.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
@@TonysCoolTools ok, good to know. Care to explain why? The PCW4000 has more complexity and seems more likely to have issues. PCW5000 in contrast appears simple and proven. Is the 4 that much better than the 5?
@@AlfioS Alfio, all three units are awesome and built like tanks. The progress capture mechanism is truly the only device that is not on the 3000 or 5000 winches. It’s very well made and I don’t see it breaking easily. And if it should break in the field it will operate identical to the 5000.
But, as I pointed out the engine is the big difference. You will find when engaging the capstans pulley the engine rocks from side to side. Many times on the 5000 the engine stalled on me because it wasn’t level. This get more important when working on a hill or incline.
The 4000 works in all conditions.
Hope this answers your question 👍TCT
